[QUOTE]trips are assigned by days worked; meaning a senior guy who has worked 2 days will get assigned a trip before a junior guy who has worked 6.

At my current airline a pairing is assigned to the most junior pilot who is legal and available, unless a senior pilot preferenced "call me first". [/QUOTE]

The way it works at your current airline is the way it used to work. The bold text is the way it works now.
